The Kings: How to Recognize Goal-Orientation As A Risk Factor

On the last weekend of June, 2009, COPA and Cirrus Aircraft held their seventh annual “Migration,” a yearly invitation to all Cirrus owners and associates to travel to the company headquarters in Duluth, Minnesota. This year’s featured speakers were the internationally renowned duo, John and Martha King.

Delivering a keynote topic each day, the Kings shared their revolutionary pilot training tips, developed from over 30 years championing the improvement of aviation risk management.  Their company, now the world’s leading producer of aviation training videos and software, is credited with teaching up to one-half of the instrument students and over one-third of all pilots in the U.S. obtaining training in the last ten years.

In the second part of our four part series from their event presentations, John and Martha King explain how goal-oriented behavior is often a risk factor in the airplane.  While beneficial in many regards, this hard-wired desire to complete a task can cause a pilot to ignore the risks of continuing a flight when safety concerns arise. 

Join Aero-TV as the Kings’ explain how to properly confront these external pressures and develop a strategy for making smart piloting decisions in spite of them.
